By the way, what exactly do you hyper free-traders think Americans ought to do for a living? We can't all run companies profiting by importing goods and services produced by $6,000-per-year slave labor in Asia. Somebody has to buy those goods and services. What should the rest of us do? We can't all be lawyers, insurance salesmen, and accountants. Fast food? Yeah, you're going to have to really hold down those programming costs to make your stuff affordable to people trying to support a family on McDonalds wages. People still do support a family on McDonalds wages. They may have to work a second job and have the spouse work as well, but they do survive to work another day. When I go to a fast food joint, I don't get the impression that the employees don't want to be there or have major attitude problems.

You are nuts. Have you made a household budget? Do you live with your parents still? Are you in high school? This post is exhibit A, in "Why FR is not really worth reading anymore."
FYI I have been in a few fast food places and there are MAJOR attitude problems there which is why people are avoiding them and they are losing money.
